Christine W., 14

Christine is a 14-year-old girl who lives with her mother in the village. Her father passed away a few months ago after the family was unable to raise money for his medical care. She now depends on her mother, a small-scale farmer who grows vegetables and sells them at the nearby market, earning about 2,500 shillings per month. Christine is in Grade 7 and dreams of becoming a doctor so she can one day support her mother. She enjoys playing leg ball, reading novels, and is known to be a hardworking girl. She developed skin lesions that started as reddish, itchy spots on her face before spreading to other parts of the body. The lesions later ruptured, oozing clear fluid, and eventually formed crusts. Since she had not sought treatment, her teacher followed up, discovered her condition, and advised her to go to Bulondo Health Centre. The teacher reminded her that she had previously benefited from Helpster Charity and encouraged her to seek care again, noting that without treatment, the infection could worsen or spread to others. Upon arrival at the facility,

Christine was with Impetigo contagiosa and admitted for 2 days with good care and was discharged when she was stable later on Helpster volunteer's call found out her mother was happy and told him that all infectious wound have dried up. She appreciated Helpster Charity Organization for helping her to get free medical treatment.

Christine was admitted treated and her prognosis was good, responded to medication well and if we could have treated early she could spread the infection.
